10:01 pm
according to a local tv station. including workshops, golf tournament and even a dance party. he will be one of 400 usps officials in attendance. that is onef the biggest problems in washington, history always repeating itself. they kicked off a firestorm afr spending ridiculous amounts of taxpayer dollars on a lavish conference, now the post office doing the same thing. will they ever learn? my bet is no. that is it for tonight's "the willis report." have a great night. lou: good evening, everybody. president obama today fresh from a three day vacation and a

dustup for the white house press corps push in the lumen sequester cuts to the top of the public agenda. $85 billio$85 billion of arbitry spending cuts per week, sure and there would be no sequester and now with nine days remaining before it all goes into effect, he is basically complaining republicans aren't leaning on the issue. mr. obama has not tan any initiative to bring republicans and democrats together for a discussion, let alone a negotiation. and he hasn't even called republican leadership to talk about a mpromise on sequester. instead, listen as the president doesn't acknowledge the sequester originated in the white house, and that he bears great responsibility for resolving the issue. >> republicans face a simple choice, are they willing to compromise to protect vital investments in education and health care and national security and all the jobs that
10:03 pm
depend on it. where would ey rather put hundreds of thousands jobs and hourl entire economy at riso close loopholes that benefit only the wealthiest americans and corporations. lou: house speaker john boehner reminded the president the house has passed two sequester bills ignored by the democratically controlled senate. one in may, the other in december of last year. republicans have already given mr. obama his tax hikes the rich. reading just last month the president got higher taxes the wealthy and already back for more. the american people understand the revenue debate is now closed. and congress is closed as well. the house of representatives and the senate both in recess until next monday leaving the president onlyour days in which to reach out to congress if there is to be a deal done before sequestration takes
10:04 pm
effect democrats led by the white house are opposed to cutting entitlements. even though they make up more than 60% of federal outlay. medicare, medicaid and social security alone take up 45% of the national budget. in the four plus years of the obama presidency, entitlement has been cut never. the national liberal media enabled thenable the president o successfully blame congress for the fiscal cliff iasse, the debt ceiling battles in the various continuing resolutions that have kept the government running despite no budget. this time not even a compliant and complicit media can bail him out. the sequester unquestionably his idea and he publicly broken his own promise. there would be no sequester, at least to this point. the president told america during a presidential debate governor mitt romney on october 22 last year the sequester "will not happen."
10:05 pm
we will see. a new report says military is behind an overwhelming number cyber attacks against american targets. that report traces of those attacks to a single building in shanghai, headquarters of a unit of the liberation army. hackers have stolen massive amounts of valuable information of all kinds from at least 115 american corporations over the course of the past seven years. companies involved in everhing from finance energy to infrastructure. chinese government officials have dmissed that report is groundless, pretty much the response to all similar charges brought the years. the white house is not commenting on the new report nor the charges against. jay carney said the
10:06 pm
united states has repeatedly talked to the government in china about cyber theft and attacks. we'lwe will be joined by two experts, former army technology acquisition director, and the author of the coming collapse of china. joining us in just moments. a daring robbery in belgium as thieves struck part of the world diamond trade. belgian police are searching for eight masked gunmen. they forced their way into the brussels international airport and onto the tarmac and stole 190 packages of diamonds and jams on a plane bound for switzerland. they reportedly both rough and polished. it was extremely well-planned. the operation took just over 10 minutes. the thieves wore police uniforms, carrying submachine guns but no shots fired, no one was injured. the robbers were able to make off with at least $50 million
10:07 pm
worth of jams. a low-end estimate. dto a significant blow to the diamond district whic district s supposed to be one of europe's most secure safe zones, 2000 surveillance cameras and around-the-clock police throughout the area. best to handle diamonds and jams worth $52 billion accounting for 80% of the world's rough diamond trade, half of the trade and other stones and gems. back to politics. we want to give the government props for his, well, props. there you see him and his supporters. the president flanked by first responders here as they put jobs on the line with their refusal to take this possibility for what was after all his idea,
10:08 pm
sequester and his pledge to question would not have been. he loves this stuff. he was pushing obacare back in october in this instance of thousand nine. here is one of my particular favorites. here he is backed wealthy americans. there is a set of props whi pushing the buffet rule. those are some expensive props. i like that. college students invited to be set pieces pushed student loan reform. seeing here is fronted by middle-class americans. that is just a month ago the president utilized young children to push gun control. hold the president anti-republic
10:09 pm
rhetoric play out? will he prevail, or will the republicans win? joining us is the "a-team." good to have you with us. your reaction. showing no shame in using. >> to use props like this in such a dire saits, does one thing two months ago with new town, not to do this again with the wealthy individuals because that is where he is going after. lou: i love that kind of folks out to do that. republicans and anti-republican rhetoric today. here it is, on the record, sequester is his idea, on the record that he promised there would be a sequester take effect.
10:10 pm
>> i guess i am so much of a mom, it looks to me kids in a sandbox saying i will take out my toys and going home. you are one recess, no coming together. i know that is very simplistic but it is angry for all of us as american citizens to say wait a second, we're paying you to able to do this, respond to these questions and you are not doing it. you're like those kids in the sandbox. lou: why does do we point out these are bold faced lies? >> there used to him with president obama recently. this sequester not only the president won't take responsibility for it. he has asked the author of it, jack lew, he has now nominated to be treasury secretary. and it was the white house who insisted half is supposed to be in defense spending and the other half in sequester
10:11 pm
spinning. the president, what the president was talking about today you know very well republicans are not going to accept. they will not accept another huge tax increase and really unknown proportions because he hadn't set up an offer, so what all this means is the sequester will take place. >> do you agree? >> not only did he sign it into law, but the fact he assumed republicans would spot it, republicans would not go along with it because of the military cuts, but what the president has lostight of his getting the tax hikes earlier this year, he didn't get any spending cuts and it is all about spending cuts and everybody knows the country needs but they can't agree on the details. by pushing it off, the president s handled the republicans to
10:12 pm
leverage he had in the tax hikes. now they're going to get the spending cuts they want. lou: are the republicans going to win one here? >> i think so. >> i'm not so sure. he is poisoning the republican brand every time he goes to the podium at the white house and it worked in the election back in november and it may work again. >> i think the republicans have to stay united, that is the key. if they stay united, they will have to come back with a reasonable package whether there are tax reforms in closg loopholes that don't produce revenue is a more complicated thing but on the issue of spending, republicans have the upper hand and should do something. lou: the "a-team" will be back th us in this show. and america's doctor will join me to talk about what is on the president's state of mind.

the veterans groups say something else. i will repeatit here. my next guest wrote an investigative report on the september 11th attack at the u.s. consulate in libya. among the shocking claims, curren to five crent cia nomination john burnett plans to raise that may have lead to retaliation and benghazi and the death of four americans. former u.s. navy seal. former u.s. army ranger, green beret. authors of the new e-book entitled benghazi, the definitive report. >> a situation where the u.s. unit's ad agencies were operating benghazi. a lot of cases not communicating with each other. special operations command conducting these rates, putting pressure on the militias and the terrorist groups and then what you saw, the result of that is the blow back of the gauzy. lou: special operations comes back and says, you know, we would never run an operation
10:35 pm
without the knowledge of the ambassador or the civilian representatives of the u.s. government and country. your reaction? >> it happens all the time. very often that they don't notify the ambassador and at the state department is not read on to serve special operations missions that are happening in various countries in the world. lou: and here we are, all these months later. the american people still don't have an accounting from the president of the united states or this administration as to what happened and why in benghazi. is that -- >> that was the main motivation behind jack and i writing this book, just watching the spin and the hype on both sides of the party lines during the election. really, no clear answers, no accountability. it was the main motivating factor behind his writing the book. lou: and we are still listening
10:36 pm
to the former secretary of state, hillary clinton, acknowledging she was not involved in the operations that take. the president himself was not involved. secretary of defense panetta said they had one conversation, and that was it. this that astonish you? >> it sounds like these people are trying to absolve themselves of gts or any sort of association with was happen that night. and i can say what was going on in the oval office that night. it's time for somebody to take responsibility. you know, i would liken it to the bay of pigs fiasco where president kennedy came forward and took responsibility. we need somebody to do that now and dedicate themselves toward fixing whatever went wrong then night. lou: you gentleman offered. again, involving, as you would guess, all of the special operations folks out there working. what is this sense, if i can
10:37 pm
call it a community, what is the sense among the community about whats going on now? i cannot imagine the route -- morale being very high. >> i think a big issue that i have talked on lately is, we have really no strategic objective in afghanistan. does not seem like we have a clear strategic objective with how we conduct our foreign policy, and we have troops in special operations communities, these guys, men and women, euros , they have been shouldering the burden for over a decade. we have the family lives suffering. you know, when is this going to end? lou: that applies to special operations, but our military, across the board, and our intelligence community as well. it is strange to think that we have become a country where we have really troops, men and women like you working in intelligence and special operations in u.s. military

across the world and we were in afghanistan more than a decade after having taken control of afghanistan through the cia and special operatns forces that we put in their right after september 11th. you were one of the folks involved. >> really, wt have we accomplished in afghanistan? are we going to leave afghanistan better than we found it? i think the answer is no. the big issue is we need special operations to date. is the nature of the way you counter this asymmetric threat. we are fighting a war of ideologies with these extremists they don't have borders. they don't have a rule book. the special operations, but you also need to address the preventative measures. what can we do as a country to study the social and political environments that are producing these radical terrorists of tomorrow. and if you don't address that we will be for years. >> and in the aftermath of
10:39 pm
benghazi will be a good time to take a look in our counterterrorism strategy, where weill move forward in the next invest 20 years. lou: i have to say that those who have authored long words, be they add david patraeus, military academies, our work colleges, long wars right now. satisfying for the national interest for the ultimate aims of the country, perhaps there is something beyon counter-terrorism, counterinsurgency that this country needs to learn about and figure out. tonight, we thank you. go to loudobbs.com to finally start facebook page. e-mail me. of crse you can tweet me. and, again, the buck is been gauzy, the definitive report. up next, one colorado state representative does not trust women with guns. psychoanalyzing all of the -- some of the ignorance and

immediately i am drawn to the subject of president obama and his weekend golfing with above all people, tiger woods. that has to be fertile ground for you. >> it is fertile ground because this is the president's who would find himself on the golf links with someone who is a celebrity and a star. the president two lows late night tv. the president who loves the cover of gq magazine. why? why is it that, you know, as you were reading the headlines and we hear of a legislator in california who is saying that women don't have intuition, don't rely on your gut feeling. people are being asked to rate themselves out of their own thoughts and feelings, which are really craig -- quite grounded and instead tessie doll control to a central authority. what will the central authority be about, narcissism, grandiosity, and not, you know, and ms.
